PIT VIPER

 Belt Cleaner

Introduction

General

To introduce product back into the product flow, a Pre-Cleaner is installed on 
the face of the head pulley. On a dual cleaner system, the Secondary Cleaner 
is installed immediately following the Pre-Cleaner to remove stubborn 
material left on the conveyor belt. If a Pre-Cleaner cannot be used because of 
space limitations, the Secondary Cleaner is installed alone. If the material-
handling process or product could be affected by contamination from the use 
of these belt cleaners, the user is responsible for taking the necessary steps to 
prevent contamination. Consult Martin Engineering or a representative for 
alternate belt cleaners or belt cleaner locations to use where contamination 
may be an issue.

Installations 
without chutework

These procedures were written for equipment that is being installed on 
enclosed pulley chutework. If the pulley is not enclosed, the equipment should 
be installed using the best available field resources and methods to ensure that 
the critical dimensions are followed for proper installation.

Belt cleaner 
inspection access

If the belt cleaner is installed on enclosed pulley chutework, a MARTIN

®

  

Inspection Door should be installed. MARTIN

 Inspection Doors are 

available from Martin Engineering or a representative. See “Part Numbers” 
for a list of MARTIN
